It’s a shame the NLL isn’t on one of the sports platforms. I remember seeing The Rock on TSN many moons ago and thinking this is a game I can watch.
It is because lacrosse fans are still a niche. There will literally be more people in the arena than watching on tv. But I do agree with you. TSN still shows MLS games and ratings show that nobody watches the games on tv.
I’ll be watching. I have been to Rush games and I absolutely love them. I really wish Regina could support a pro team. Honestly I believe Lacrosse is the most exciting game to watch.
